Description:
Many, many installers will work even if you are not logged in
as an administrator.
Examples: gforth, Firefox, FreeBasic, Audacity, newLisp, Ghostscript,
Ghostview, VLC, Ruby
Making the FreePascal installer refuse to run when the user doesn't
have administrator privileges doesn't make things easier for the user.
Making the FreePascal installer refuse to run when the user doesn't

If the example installers listed above can run without admistrator
privileges, then there is no good reason that the FreePascal installer
can't run.
